A Call to Action: The Day of Dakar
In a bold move, Quattro Bajeena, also known as Char Aznable, hijacks a parliamentary session with the help of Karaba to deliver a powerful speech. This daring act sparks a skirmish between the Titans and Karaba, leaving the Parliament building severely damaged and its members forced to evacuate.
A Message of Unity
Char’s speech is a passionate plea for humanity to come together and recognize the true ideals of Zeon. He distances himself from his past as a servant of the Principality of Zeon, instead embracing his legacy as the son of Zeon Deikun. Char argues that humanity’s expansion into space should broaden their horizons, rather than perpetuating the mistakes of the past.
A Vision for the Future
Char’s vision is one of a humanity that has outgrown its dependence on the Earth. He believes that humanity should strive to make space its new home, rather than continuing to pollute and ravage the planet. This message resonates deeply, as the city of Dakar itself is slowly being consumed by the desert.
A Condemnation of the Titans
Char’s speech is also a scathing critique of the Titans, who he accuses of arrogance and brutality. He argues that their actions are a threat to humanity’s very existence, and that they have lost sight of what is truly important.
A Moment of Connection
Despite the chaos and tension, the episode also features a rare moment of cordiality between Kamille and Beltorchika. Meanwhile, Amuro shares a whiskey with Quattro, a poignant reminder of the human connections that exist even in the midst of conflict.

The episode was scripted by Yumiko Suzuki, with unit direction by Hiroyuki Yokoyama and animation direction by Akihiro Kanayama.
